Position Description

Disability Specialist Practitioner - Family Services
June 2021

**BENDIGO COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES**

**The Role of the Team**

The Family Services team provides a range of support services for families including outreach

support, referral to appropriate services, group work, and educational programs to parents and carers

and the broader community. It comprises a large Family Services Team alongside smaller

complementary programs. Family Services staff help families to identify goals which will assist families

and children to reach their potential. Many of the families referred to the Family Services team have

had, or are involved with the statutory system, which mean managing risk, advocating for children, and

navigating the service system are all important functions of the team.

**Overview of the Family Services Disability Specialist Program**

Families who are vulnerable and where there are disabilities may require considerable support from

services to access and participate effectively in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The

complexity of accessing and navigating the scheme can leave vulnerable families at risk of exclusion

from the scheme or unable to optimise the funded disability supports they are entitled to receive.

The Family Services Specialist Disability Practitioner role will assist vulnerable children and parents with

disabilities to access disability supports and participate effectively in the NDIS. The role is also designed

to build both disability and NDIS expertise across the Family Services system.

A key focus is to address challenges many vulnerable families face in accessing disability support

needs, particularly those available through the NDIS. The role has the responsibilities of supporting

families with NDIS access and participation, and assisting families to navigate systems of disability

support, including the NDIS, disability advocates, disability service providers and mainstream

services. The role will also provide disability-related case consultations to the broader Family Services

system within the Loddon Campaspe North Central Victorian area, with the aim of supporting

practitioners working in Family Services to maximise disability supports and improve outcomes

available through the NDIS for families where there is a disability.

**Position Objectives**
- Deliver a service that is sensitive to the needs of children and parents with disabilities and

provide a flexible response that recognises and supports the strengths, dignity and desires of

the person with a disability in their family context.
- Work with parents who are vulnerable to identify disability support needs, assist with NDIS

access, undertake NDIS disability-related goal setting and help families to prepare for their plan

reviews.
- Provide consultations to and build the ongoing capacity of Family Services practitioners within

the catchment on disability and NDIS-related issues.
- Integrate both Fami
